Audit note

UK rounding rule: employers may round holiday up to the nearest half or full day, never down. Statutory leave is capped at 28 days for anyone working five or more days a week.

How this calculation works

Work a set number of days each week? Your paid holiday is pro-rated from the 5.6 weeks (28 days) a full-time employee gets. Pick your working pattern to see the exact statutory entitlement.

Worked example

(1.5 days ÷ 5 full-time days) × 28 days = 8.4 days

Frequently asked questions

What is the holiday entitlement for 1.5 days a week?
1.5 days a week gives 8.4 days of paid holiday a year on the statutory minimum (1.5 × 5.6). Enter a higher annual allowance if your full-time colleagues get more than 28 days.
How are half-days handled?
The calculator treats 1.5 as a fraction of the working week, so the maths is identical whether you work three half-days or one full and one half day. What matters is the total days-equivalent per week.
Can my employer round the result?
Employers may round holiday up to the nearest half or whole day, but never down — rounding down would take you below the statutory minimum, which is unlawful.
